Vulvar Cancer

Vulvar cancer is a rare cancer of the female reproductive system that starts on the external genitalia of the woman.

 

Causes of vulvar cancer

The exact cause of vulvar cancer remains unknown, but there are a few factors that have been identified which may increase the risk of a woman developing it, including:

  • HPV infection
  • Being of older age

Having one or more of these risk factors does not necessarily mean that a person will definitely develop vulvar cancer.

 

Symptoms of vulvar cancer

  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding or spotting
  • Soreness or itchiness in the vulva
  • Swelling or a lump in the vulva

 

Diagnosis of vulvar cancer

  • Pelvic exam to check the uterus, vagina, and nearby tissues for any lumps or changes in shape or size
  • Biopsy to test for any abnormalities
  • CT scan or MRI scan help accurately stage the disease

 

Treatment of vulvar cancer at KHCC

Treatment options will vary depending on the size of the tumor and stage of diagnosis, as well as the age and general health of the patient. Treatments for vulvar cancer include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy.
